Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Step 2

Add cauliflower to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Toss with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the bulb of garlic to the same sheet pan as the cauliflower.

Step 3

Roast garlic and cauliflower for 35-45 minutes, until everything is cooked through and browned.

Step 4

Add garlic and cauliflower to a blender along with the rest of the sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Add additional salt and pepper to the sauce if needed, I personally did not add more salt because my cottage cheese was salty enough.

Step 5

Mix sauce with pasta and top with herbs if using. Divide out and serve.
